Join Us for Our Mario Kart 8 Community Tournaments!
Posted on August 06 2014 by Nathanial Rumphol-Janc
We’ve been playing around with this for awhile on social media and now it’s time to finally make this official: we’re going to be hosting a handful of select Mario Kart 8 Tournaments every single week for the foreseeable future. The tournaments will all vary in style and type. We also have a general “Zelda Informer Club”, which is a daily “tournament” that runs all day long with 32 races. However, this is less of a tournament where we track results and more of a general gathering for our entire ZI fanbase, along with a way to practice and hone yourself for the tournaments we’ll actually be posting about.
Each day that we have one of these tournaments, we’ll throw up a post advertising it a good half hour to an hour before the event begins. This gives new viewers and old a heads up so they can prepare to join in. The real question is… what events will be holding?
Daily Zelda Informer Club
As stated before, this isn’t a club we’ll be keeping active result tracking for, but rather a club where we can all gather to play some
Mario Kart 8 every single day. In fact, it’s going on right now! We sort of use this as a general discussion place on Miiverse and to hone our skills for the true competitive racing we do at specific times each week.
Team Battle Tuesday
Team Battle Tuesday is a tournament we will be running every single Tuesday evening from 6pm CDT to 6am GDT Wednesday morning. It features Team Ganondorf facing off against Team Link, and in our very first week running this, Team Ganondorf took the victory:
This is a really fun tournament where sure, individual score matters, but more important the team total matters more! Team Ganondorf had one less racer this week and still took the crown! Sorry Team Link, I tried! I’ll have to race even better next week!
Currently these are the only two tournaments we have running, but we are always looking for more ideas! We don’t want to overload on the tournaments too bad, since we’ll likely be adding
Smash Bros. to our weekly competition later this year. Heck, we may even tie some giveaways like T-Shirts and stuff to his sort of thing in the future, who knows! Have any ideas? We’re looking to add one more weekly tournament.
